Hi Linus,

Probes fixes for v6.17-rc2:

- tracing: fprobe-event: Sanitize wildcard for fprobe event name
  Fprobe event accepts wildcards for the target functions, but
  unless the user specifies its event name, it makes an event with
  the wildcards. Replace the wildcard '*' with the underscore '_'.

    tracing: fprobe-event: Sanitize wildcard for fprobe event name
    
    Fprobe event accepts wildcards for the target functions, but unless user
    specifies its event name, it makes an event with the wildcards.
    
      /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 'f mutex*' >> dynamic_events
      /sys/kernel/tracing # cat dynamic_events
      f:fprobes/mutex*__entry mutex*
      /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/fprobes/
      enable         filter         mutex*__entry
    
    To fix this, replace the wildcard ('*') with an underscore.
